Defibrillators
Defibrillators for cardiac victim intervention
According to OSHA, over 800 workplace fatalities that occurred between 1999 and 2000 were caused by cardiac arrest. The agency also reported that heart attack survival rate with immediate defibrillation is more than 90 percent. These two facts have prompted OSHA to recommend employers to consider using defibrillators in their facility to lower the instances of cardiac arrest related deaths in the workplace. For their part, defibrillators are relatively easy to use even with minimal training.
